Report Game Scores
The winning team is responsible for game report within 24-48 hours. Non-reported games will be shown in the
loss column for both teams involved. Information required must be accurate and verifiable. Please include:
Rain Information
The Northeast Baseball and Softball Association
is always trying to provide the proper amount of time for coaches to contact players in the event of weather related
cancellations. Our grounds crew personnel make recommendations on current field conditions at 3pm on game days.
If the fields have received rain and will be unplayable for games that day, league officials are notified, and information
is disseminated by the league's notification system between 3-4pm.
Once the fields are deemed playable by the grounds crew the decision to play next becomes the
responsibility of umpires up to the scheduled start time. In the event of rain or anticipated rain between 4-6pm
an assumption that the game will be played must be maintained. The umpires on each field and umpire coordinator
make decisions based upon the most current conditions. Once umpires have delayed or discontinued games all
attempts are made to utilize the rain hotline immediately to notify participants in the later scheduled games.
Saturday Rain Make-up Dates
The scheduling process begins after the completion of team registration. Team exclusion
dates are requested prior to the end of registration. Once all the information has been compiled we run a couple draft
schedules to economize field use, exclusion dates, and other requests. Though most regular season scheduling is slated for evenings
during the week, the league must reserve some flexibility for rain-out rescheduling on two Saturdays during the summer.
May 21 and June 11 have been dedicated as make-up
dates in the event registration size, field capacity, and duration of season do not permit options on weekdays alone.
Teams
must work out conflicts with the scheduling coordinator. Games not made up in reasonable time prior to the end of the
season will be listed as a loss for both teams. The season is slated to begin late April and end first week of July.
Good
luck to everyone. Have a safe and positive season. Also, please assist the game operations by returning foul balls
to the umpires. All attempts are made to maintain reasonable costs associated with our league and every foul
ball returned aids that mission.
